Purchased this Bass at the Local GC. I went in looking at buying a TLM-103 for the studio but this bass caught my attention. I have always been a fender man and own many fender basses including some 70's and 80's vintage jazz basses. I have always believed that fenders have the best tone and playability. While it is true Fenders have a unique one off tone there are obviously other manufactures doing just fine. As soon as I picked this bass up I noticed the weight, its light as can be. The neck is very fast and smooth. Before even playing it you can tell the build quality is top notch. I would say its light years ahead of any Ibanez in that aspect and on par with Fender American made basses. The electronics are light-years better than previous Schecter basses. The EMG's are nice and stout with a big sound and the three band EMG active electronics give you endless tonal possibilities. My test run was played through a little Mark with a markbass 1X10 under it. The sound is defiantly modern but can get nice and beefy if called for. I would say this bass is 95% of my top end fenders but at a fraction of the price. Schecter has obviously stepped up the game on the new Diamond Series basses. Its a no nonsense bass built for players who demand top notch quality with out all the crazy paint jobs and bling. It definably holds its own in my stable of basses, the majority of which cost almost twice what this baby does.

I have owned and played a plethora of basses and always try to be realistic within the price ranges. There are some I love because of nostalgia, some for particular tones with certain genres, and some for innovative designs. I love the Riot 4 Session for all of the above. I walked into GC just this weekend and it caught my eye in both terms of aesthetic appeal and features for the price range. I was hesitant to take it off the wall, because I did not need another bass in any way; but it called to me. I only had the chance to noodle around for about 30 minutes, but I had other engagements. I had a hard time sleeping that evening, because this bass was on my mind. I returned the next morning and really put it through some rifts with several different amps. What kept coming back to me was the play ability of the neck, the quality components, the versatility of the tones, and the realistic price. I decided that I really needed to give it a proper review at the home, and had confidence in the 30 day return policy.

The thing is, I can't put this bass down.

I have, in the house, a Schecter Stiletto Elite 4, a Schecter P-bass, A Squier VM 70's Jazz, a Peavey Fury 4, an Ibanez SR500, a Fender 2002 MIM P bass, a Sterling Ray 34 and this new Schecter Riot 4 sesson. I am now going to thin the heard.

Rating, for me, from top to bottom:

1. The Shecter Riot 4 session - it does it all.2. Schecter P-bass passive, it fits a P bass and does the jazz thing well.3. Peavey Fury 4 - classic P-bass and MIA4. Schecter Stilleto Elite - good tone and neck, but I HATE the bridge,5. Ibanez SR500 - the Bartolini MK-1s are just okay, the neck is excellent, but the body will scratch with a light breeze. This has been my most disappointing bass purchase in terms of build quality. This bass will be sold.6. Sterling Ray34. it is built well and produces an unique sound, but I can cover that with the top two Schecters. There is just nothing that stands out to me about it. I can live without this bass and it will find its way to being sold as well.6. Squier VM 70s Jazz. I shouldn't rank it low as it is a very worthy instrument with plenty of tone and playabilty. The price is right and the tone is solid. It just kind of got left behind in the mix of above axes. I might actually hold on to this one, as it was an inexpensive addition that performs above its price rante.

Back to the point at hand. The Schecter Riot 4 Session just does it all for me. If I could only keep one; my mind is set. I've already named it after BEOWULF's famous sword Hruting.
